15 Amazing Tips to Study Well for A Test

Neither the school nor high school teaches you ways to study well. At least they did not teach me any technique or strategy. In my first year of career, I got tired of memorizing. So, I started to worry about how to study well for exams, in more effective, fun and faster ways.

Without overdoing it, learning ways to study well and quickly allowed me to raise my grades well enough; in many subjects, I went up to more than two points.

I doubt that I would have been able to get such good grades without any technique of memorization or study. The University is hard and you have to learn a lot of data and knowledge.

The advice that I will tell you will be used for exams, history, English, competitions, language, primary, final, summon or test, chemistry, periodic table. In short, any subject or knowledge that you have to learn.

Finally, before you begin, remember that effort is the most important thing!

Other Tips

Let’s discuss.

Bridge Rewards

Thinking about having 3-4 or 5 hours of study ahead discourages a lot.

But there is a way to make it much simpler:

Rest every 50-60 minutes and do something pleasing for 10 minutes

Have coffee with a friend

Walk your dog

To have a snack.

It is about being aware that the effort is not going to be infinite, but that you will have to do things that you like during the period in which you are studying.

Also, pay a big reward at the end of the period.

For example, you have been studying all day or all morning and you end up at 8:00 p.m.:

Go visit your partner

Put a movie

Go have a drink with your friends

Practice your favorite sport

Do whatever you like.

Eliminate Distractions

Are you the typical student in the library looking at WhatsApp every minute or watching who walks through the door?

So, I’ve seen hundreds and probably studied 1 hour out of every 4 that were sitting.

To arrive at an optimal state of concentration it will take approximately 10 minutes.

Use the technique of association

It is excellent for learning names, data and in general anything that you have to memorize.

If you have to learn difficult names (like in medicine, physiology, pharmacy, biology) you will solve a big problem and you will remember them with ease. Relate numbers to something.

You simply have to relate a number to something (an object, an animal, a person) that you remember well.

Exercise or take walks before the exams

Research at the University of Illinois showed evidence that 20

minutes of exercise before a test can improve performance.

On many occasions, I have been playing tennis the day before the exams.

And that served me not to stress too much, and even take away.

As I had studied for at least 1 month almost daily, I already had the knowledge in the long-term memory and would not forget me on the exam if I was calm.

In my opinion, it is a general mistake – both parents and students – to think that the day of the exam or the day before should be bitter, without going out and studying all day.

The exam does not approve the day before, you approve it during all the hours that you have dedicated the previous months or weeks.

Have the right mindset

In my case, the mentality has been key to being able to get very good grades and not cost me my health.

Some classmates (90% of Psychology students are women) had anxiety attacks, excessive stress, or even cried before or after the tests.

I think it’s because the result is given too much importance and I do not want to lose importance to approve, but you will not die if you do not get it.

A healthy mindset is:

“If I study well for months I will have a lot of chances to approve, and if I suspend, I will be calm because I have tried hard.”

With that way of thinking, you will avoid the stress and anxiety of the exams and if you study in advance will approve most of the time.

Try to get interested in what you study well

If you are disgusted with what you are studying you will advance like an ant.

But if you have a real interest, it will not cost you effort to study. It will be like spending free time informing you about what you like.

Study well with energy and without hunger

Being hungry will make you distracted and powerless, making concentration more difficult.

Therefore, it is very important that you have had breakfast or lunch before beginning to study.

Among other foods, almonds and fruits are good choices.

Plan the material to study well

If you have 300 pages to study, you will get dizzy when you start.

But if you divide 300 pages within 30 days it fits 10 pages a day, which is quite affordable. In 20 days it would be 15 pages a day.

If you comply with the rule of studying months or weeks before, you can plan yourself calmly and effectively.

Alternate places of study well

If you alternate the places where you study you will improve the attention and the retention of the learning.

Also, studying for weeks in one place can become tiring and boring.

Alternating between various libraries or study rooms and your home is a good choice.

Practice the test: Give fictive exams

Testing yourself or probing tests is much more effective than underlining or re-reading. You will be asking yourself possible questions and you will be practicing for the real test. That is, you have done many possible exams before and the actual exam will be one more.

In addition, probably in the “fictitious exams” you will ask questions that will coincide with those of the real exam. The more you try, the better.

Avoid studying the night before

In the examination, you have to be with the mind awake. You have to demonstrate for an hour or more the knowledge that you have acquired for weeks. If you go sleepy, you will be in low attendance, with fatigue, you will have little energy and you will make mistakes.
